I am assuming you are the biological father. Even if the child was conceived prior to the marriage, the child is considered your legitimate child due to the marriage. You have equal rights to the mother. I suggest you get an attorney in order to secure your rights.

You and the mother have identical rights until and unless a family law court case is filed. I urge you to get counsel as soon as possible to protect your rights.
